SUMMARY:CCW | Renewal
DESCRIPTION:This 8-Hour course is designed to satisfy the requirements for CCW Renewal issuance in California. Our CCW training certificates are accepted in Stanislaus County\, San Joaquin\, Mariposa County\, Merced County\, Monterey County\, Contra Costa County\, and Tuolumne County. \n\nPlease contact your issuing agency before you register with us for qualification.  The issuing agency is under NO obligation to re-issue.\nPlease remember to look into our other training courses as qualifying once every 2 years (state minimum) is NOT enough to keep you prepared and informed for a lethal encounter. DH1 is 1 day\, as is DH2. Each…. a no brainer. A Valley Defense Membership is even better.\n\nKeep in mind that California requires qualification with every firearm you want on your permit.  In our professional opinion\, we strongly suggest only a minimal # of firearms on your permit.  Carry what you are truly proficient with; there’s no benefit to having 5 guns on a permit.  We believe in this so strongly\, that we charge $10 per qualification of all firearms beyond 3. (Qualification for guns #4 and #5 (if applicable) will cost an additional $10 each on top of class tuition.  The first 3 are included in tuition). * Bring $10-$20 cash if you want to qualify with more that 3 firearms. \n*** IMPORTANT NOTE:  THERE IS A QUALIFICATION AFTER A VERY SHORT TRAINING. IT IS A FORMAL TEST REQUIRED BY THE STATE AND COUNTY/CITY AND WE ARE THE PROCTORS. WE ARE TESTING BASED ON THE REQUIREMENTS WE ARE GIVEN. PLEASE UNDERSTAND WE WILL NOT BE DOING ANY TRAINING DURING THE WRITTEN TEST AND NOT DURING QUALIFICATION ON THE RANGE. The whole point is you shouldn’t be practicing to pass a test… You should be practicing to stay alive during the worst moments of your life! We are right here offering to help\, but we can not help you in a test. Please contact us…. we really want to help you! \nWe are unable to keep tabs on which counties are issuing CCW Permits and which are not\, and the changes in their internal operations regarding CCW permits (although we do our best). We have limited information on this topic. Please check with your issuing agency (The LE Agency of the county/city in which you currently reside)\, for the most current information. \nNOTE:  This class is held from beginning to end at our range facility.  There is no lunch service included\, but there are many fast food and dining establishments close by for your 1 hour lunch break. \nCourse Duration:  8 hours (with a lunch break) \nEquipment Needed: \n\n150 rounds of ammunition\, plus 30 rounds for every gun you want on your permit.  Remember\, per State of CA\, you shall qualify with EVERY firearm you want on your permit.\nIn our professional opinion\, we strongly suggest only a minimal # of firearms on your permit.  Carry what you are truly proficient with; there’s no benefit to having 5 guns on a permit.  We believe in this so strongly\, that we charge $10 per qualification of all firearms beyond 3.

SUMMARY:Red Dot Pistol
DESCRIPTION:While red dot optics are not new\, their use on pistols for defensive carry is becoming more popular. They do\, however\, create a learning curve for a shooter transitioning from iron sights. Red dots have advantages and disadvantages that will be discussed in class. We will cover a wide range of subjects including mounting and zeroing the red dot\, making accurate shots using target focus techniques. The most daunting task for the new red dot user is finding the dot. \nWe will explore dot tracking methods\, and target transitions. We will also explore distance shooting with the red dot and the advantages it may provide over iron sights. \nEquipment Needed:\n\nRed dot equipped pistol\nHolster/mag pouches/belt\nHearing and eye protection/ball cap\nRange and weather appropriate clothing\n3 magazines (minimum)\n200 rounds of ammo (minimum)\n\nCourse Duration: 8 Hours

SUMMARY:CCW Initial (2-Day)
DESCRIPTION:NOTE:  This 16-Hour\, 2-Day class meets at Michaels Pizza on Carpenter Rd.  There\, we will handle the classroom portion of class and enjoy a hot lunch (Pizza\, salad and drink)\, which is included in the tuition.  The entire first day will be spent at this location.  On the next day\, you will drive directly to our range facility where you will proceed with the range portion of the class\, and then qualifications.  Again\, the lunch is included in your tuition and Michael’s Pizza is only about 15 minutes from the range.\n \n\nPARKING:  Unless you NEED handicap parking\, please park on the north side of the restaurant.  Thank you!\nLunch will include Salad / Pizza & Beverages.\nThis course is designed to satisfy the requirements for CCW issuance in California.\nKeep in mind that CA requires qualification with every firearm you want on your permit.  In our professional opinion\, we strongly suggest only a minimal # of firearms on your permit.  Carry what you are truly proficient with; there’s no benefit to having 5 guns on a permit.  We charge $10 per qualification of all firearms beyond 3. (Qualification for guns #4 and #5 (if applicable) will cost an additional $10 each on top of class tuition.  The first 3 are included in tuition). * Bring $10-$20 cash if you want to qualify with more than 3 firearms.\n\n** IMPORTANT! **\nIt is important that before you schedule a class\, you read and understand the CCW Policy of the Law Enforcement Agency with which you are applying.  These agencies want you to apply with them first\, and when they are ready for you to take your class with us\, they will let you know.  If you do not understand their policy\, please contact them directly.  We are unable to speak to every area of each different agencies policy. \nWhile there is no guarantee of issuance\, this course is also the perfect introduction to firearms (pistol) training. You will leave with new skills and confidence in the safe operations of the pistol\, with an understanding of the use of firearms for self-defense.  We will discuss the legal and moral aspects to consider when deciding to use a gun for personal protection. \nCourse Length: 2 consecutive days / 16 hours  (First day classroom\, Second day range)\nAmmunition: 200 rounds\, plus 30 additional rounds for every additional firearm you want on your permit. \nNOTE: We are unable to keep tabs on which counties are issuing CCW Permits and which are not (although we do our best). We have limited information on this topic. Please check with your issuing agency (The LE Agency of the county/city in which you currently reside) for the most current information. \nEQUIPMENT NEEDED: \n\n200 rounds\, plus 30 additional rounds for every additional firearm you want on your permit.\nIn our professional opinion\, we strongly suggest only a minimal # of firearms on your permit.  Carry what you are truly proficient with; there’s no benefit to having 5 guns on a permit.  We believe in this so strongly\, that we charge $10 per qualification of all firearms beyond 3. (Qualification for guns #4 and #5 (if applicable) will cost an additional $10 each on top of class tuition.  The first 3 are included in tuition). * Bring $10-$20 cash if you want to qualify with more that 3 firearms.\nEye/Ear Protection\, closed toe shoes\, hat with a bill (baseball hat is sufficient\, but if you wear a full brimmed hat make sure it will work with the hearing protection you’ll be wearing)\nGun\, holster\, magazines (or speed loaders/speed strips). If you do not have a gun\, pls email us so we can assist you.\n\nThere are several food establishments for lunch very close to the range. Our tuition and round count are a little higher than others\, and there’s a reason for that. Please consider we are not training our students to put a little white paper/card in your wallet…We want you to be prepared in the God-forbidden situation that you have to defend yourself because you are in fear for your life. You will not be disappointed. If you have any questions at all\, please drop us an email\, training@valleydefense.com or ask one of our many previous & returning clients.  You can also read the testimonials from students on our website and you can even read the 5.0 star reviews on our YELP page. \n*VDC goes to great lengths to train and ensure that each student understands the material. We are well known for working with our students through both emotional and physical challenges.

DESCRIPTION:This 8-Hour course is designed to satisfy the requirements for CCW Renewal issuance in California. Our CCW training certificates are accepted in Stanislaus County\, San Joaquin\, Mariposa County\, Merced County\, Monterey County\, Contra Costa County\, and Tuolumne County. \n\nPlease contact your issuing agency before you register with us for qualification.  The issuing agency is under NO obligation to re-issue.\nPlease remember to look into our other training courses as qualifying once every 2 years (state minimum) is NOT enough to keep you prepared and informed for a lethal encounter. DH1 is 1 day\, as is DH2. Each…. a no brainer. A Valley Defense Membership is even better.\n\nKeep in mind that California requires qualification with every firearm you want on your permit.  In our professional opinion\, we strongly suggest only a minimal # of firearms on your permit.  Carry what you are truly proficient with; there’s no benefit to having 5 guns on a permit.  We believe in this so strongly\, that we charge $10 per qualification of all firearms beyond 3. (Qualification for guns #4 and #5 (if applicable) will cost an additional $10 each on top of class tuition.  The first 3 are included in tuition). * Bring $10-$20 cash if you want to qualify with more that 3 firearms. \n*** IMPORTANT NOTE:  THERE IS A QUALIFICATION AFTER A VERY SHORT TRAINING. IT IS A FORMAL TEST REQUIRED BY THE STATE AND COUNTY/CITY AND WE ARE THE PROCTORS. WE ARE TESTING BASED ON THE REQUIREMENTS WE ARE GIVEN. PLEASE UNDERSTAND WE WILL NOT BE DOING ANY TRAINING DURING THE WRITTEN TEST AND NOT DURING QUALIFICATION ON THE RANGE. Please don’t have your focus be practicing to pass this test… Instead\, have your focus be practicing to stay alive during the worst moments of your life! We are right here offering to help\, but we can not help you in a test. Please contact us…. we really want to help you! \nWe are unable to keep tabs on which counties are issuing CCW Permits and which are not\, and the changes in their internal operations regarding CCW permits (although we do our best). We have limited information on this topic. Please check with your issuing agency (The LE Agency of the county/city in which you currently reside)\, for the most current information. \nNOTE:  This class is held from beginning to end at our range facility.  There is no lunch service included\, but there are many fast food and dining establishments close by for your 1 hour lunch break. \nCourse Duration:  8 hours (with a lunch break) \nEquipment Needed: \n\n150 rounds of ammunition\, plus 30 rounds for every gun you want on your permit.  Remember\, per State of CA\, you shall qualify with EVERY firearm you want on your permit.\nIn our professional opinion\, we strongly suggest only a minimal # of firearms on your permit.  Carry what you are truly proficient with; there’s no benefit to having 5 guns on a permit.  We believe in this so strongly\, that we charge $10 per qualification of all firearms beyond 3.

SUMMARY:CCW Initial (2-Day)
DESCRIPTION:NOTE:  This 16-Hour\, 2-Day class meets at Michaels Pizza on Carpenter Rd.  There\, we will handle the classroom portion of class and enjoy a hot lunch (Pizza\, salad and drink)\, which is included in the tuition.  The entire first day will be spent at this location.  On the next day\, you will drive directly to our range facility where you will proceed with the range portion of the class\, and then qualifications.  Again\, the lunch is included in your tuition and Michael’s Pizza is only about 15 minutes from the range.\n \n\nPARKING:  Unless you NEED handicap parking\, please park on the north side of the restaurant.  Thank you!\nLunch will include Salad / Pizza & Beverages.\nThis course is designed to satisfy the requirements for CCW issuance in California.\nKeep in mind that CA requires qualification with every firearm you want on your permit.  In our professional opinion\, we strongly suggest only a minimal # of firearms on your permit.  Carry what you are truly proficient with; there’s no benefit to having 5 guns on a permit.  We charge $10 per qualification of all firearms beyond 3. (Qualification for guns #4 and #5 (if applicable) will cost an additional $10 each on top of class tuition.  The first 3 are included in tuition). * Bring $10-$20 cash if you want to qualify with more than 3 firearms.\n\n** IMPORTANT! **\nIt is important that before you schedule a class\, you read and understand the CCW Policy of the Law Enforcement Agency with which you are applying.  These agencies want you to apply with them first\, and when they are ready for you to take your class with us\, they will let you know.  If you do not understand their policy\, please contact them directly.  We are unable to speak to every area of each different agencies policy. \nWhile there is no guarantee of issuance\, this course is also the perfect introduction to firearms (pistol) training. You will leave with new skills and confidence in the safe operations of the pistol\, with an understanding of the use of firearms for self-defense.  We will discuss the legal and moral aspects to consider when deciding to use a gun for personal protection. \nCourse Length: 2 consecutive days / 16 hours  (First day classroom\, Second day range)\nAmmunition: 200 rounds\, plus 30 additional rounds for every additional firearm you want on your permit. \nNOTE: We are unable to keep tabs on which counties are issuing CCW Permits and which are not (although we do our best). We have limited information on this topic. Please check with your issuing agency (The LE Agency of the county/city in which you currently reside) for the most current information. \nEQUIPMENT NEEDED: \n\n200 rounds\, plus 30 additional rounds for every additional firearm you want on your permit.\nIn our professional opinion\, we strongly suggest only a minimal # of firearms on your permit.  Carry what you are truly proficient with; there’s no benefit to having 5 guns on a permit.  We believe in this so strongly\, that we charge $10 per qualification of all firearms beyond 3. (Qualification for guns #4 and #5 (if applicable) will cost an additional $10 each on top of class tuition.  The first 3 are included in tuition). * Bring $10-$20 cash if you want to qualify with more that 3 firearms.\nEye/Ear Protection\, closed toe shoes\, hat with a bill (baseball hat is sufficient\, but if you wear a full brimmed hat make sure it will work with the hearing protection you’ll be wearing)\nGun\, holster\, magazines (or speed loaders/speed strips). If you do not have a gun\, pls email us so we can assist you.\n\nThere are several food establishments for lunch very close to the range. Our tuition and round count are a little higher than others\, and there’s a reason for that. Please consider we are not training our students to put a little white paper/card in your wallet…We want you to be prepared in the God-forbidden situation that you have to defend yourself because you are in fear for your life. You will not be disappointed. If you have any questions at all\, please drop us an email\, training@valleydefense.com or ask one of our many previous & returning clients.  You can also read the testimonials from students on our website and you can even read the 5.0 star reviews on our YELP page. \n*VDC goes to great lengths to train and ensure that each student understands the material. We are well known for working with our students through both emotional and physical challenges.

SUMMARY:CCW | Renewal
DESCRIPTION:This 8-Hour course is designed to satisfy the requirements for CCW Renewal issuance in California. Our CCW training certificates are accepted in Stanislaus County\, San Joaquin\, Mariposa County\, Merced County\, Monterey County\, Contra Costa County\, and Tuolumne County. \n\nPlease contact your issuing agency before you register with us for qualification.  The issuing agency is under NO obligation to re-issue.\nPlease remember to look into our other training courses as qualifying once every 2 years (state minimum) is NOT enough to keep you prepared and informed for a lethal encounter. DH1 is 1 day\, as is DH2. Each…. a no brainer. A Valley Defense Membership is even better.\n\nKeep in mind that California requires qualification with every firearm you want on your permit.  In our professional opinion\, we strongly suggest only a minimal # of firearms on your permit.  Carry what you are truly proficient with; there’s no benefit to having 5 guns on a permit.  We believe in this so strongly\, that we charge $10 per qualification of all firearms beyond 3. (Qualification for guns #4 and #5 (if applicable) will cost an additional $10 each on top of class tuition.  The first 3 are included in tuition). * Bring $10-$20 cash if you want to qualify with more that 3 firearms. \n*** IMPORTANT NOTE:  THERE IS A QUALIFICATION AFTER A VERY SHORT TRAINING. IT IS A FORMAL TEST REQUIRED BY THE STATE AND COUNTY/CITY AND WE ARE THE PROCTORS. WE ARE TESTING BASED ON THE REQUIREMENTS WE ARE GIVEN. PLEASE UNDERSTAND WE WILL NOT BE DOING ANY TRAINING DURING THE WRITTEN TEST AND NOT DURING QUALIFICATION ON THE RANGE. Please don’t have your focus be practicing to pass this test… Instead\, have your focus be practicing to stay alive during the worst moments of your life! We are right here offering to help\, but we can not help you in a test. Please contact us…. we really want to help you! \nWe are unable to keep tabs on which counties are issuing CCW Permits and which are not\, and the changes in their internal operations regarding CCW permits (although we do our best). We have limited information on this topic. Please check with your issuing agency (The LE Agency of the county/city in which you currently reside)\, for the most current information. \nNOTE:  This class is held from beginning to end at our range facility.  There is no lunch service included\, but there are many fast food and dining establishments close by for your 1 hour lunch break. \nCourse Duration:  8 hours (with a lunch break) \nEquipment Needed: \n\n150 rounds of ammunition\, plus 30 rounds for every gun you want on your permit.  Remember\, per State of CA\, you shall qualify with EVERY firearm you want on your permit.\nIn our professional opinion\, we strongly suggest only a minimal # of firearms on your permit.  Carry what you are truly proficient with; there’s no benefit to having 5 guns on a permit.  We believe in this so strongly\, that we charge $10 per qualification of all firearms beyond 3. (Qualification for guns #4 and #5 (if applicable) will cost an additional $10 each on top of class tuition.  The first 3 are included in tuition).\nBring $10-$20 cash if you want to qualify with more that 3 firearms.\nEye/Ear Protection\, closed toe shoes\, hat with a bill (baseball hat is sufficient\, but if you wear a full brimmed hat make sure it will work with the hearing protection you’ll be wearing)\nGun\, holster\, magazines (or speed loaders/speed strips)\n\nIf you do not have a gun\, please email us so we can assist you. training@valleydefense.com

SUMMARY:Defensive Revolver Florida
DESCRIPTION:This course is designed for those who depend specifically on a revolver as their primary defensive pistol. The course covers everything from muzzle contact to extended range engagements. You will work on various loading techniques with a requirement of 6-10 speed loaders or speed strips. Cross draw and shoulder holsters are not allowed for safety reasons.  However their viability will be discussed. Participants should (if they have it) bring a secondary or back up gun and approximately 50 rounds for it\, if it’s a different caliber from your primary gun. If you have had that revolver sitting in the safe\, dust it off and bring it out as it is still a viable tool for self defense. \nEquipment Required:\n\nAmmunition: 300 rounds minimum for primary / 50 rounds for secondary\nMandatory Equipment: Sturdy holster/belt\,  6-10 speed loaders/strips\,  10-12 moon clips\,  small screwdriver\nSuggested Equipment:  Knee / elbow pads\nSafety Gear: Ball cap\,  hearing/eye protection\,  closed shoes\, collared shirt (no tanks\, muscle shirts\, or low cut shirts)\nCourse Duration: 8:30a – 3:30p\nCourse Tuition:  $265
